I was just commenting on handedness in relation to wryting, coding,
strangeness in a mail, and it would be interesting to view code's doubling
to laterality and asymmetry in the brain. Artists are biased into left-
handedness it would seem, and wryters maybe, including myself, at least the
doubling would imply some ambidextrousness, cross-overs between the
analytic and synthetic, art and technology, to generalize awfully. Maybe it
would be interesting to know handedness on the list, maybe not, I'm just
wondering. --B.
Code and its Double (in relation to brain asymmetry)
Code and its Double (cont'd)
- Codework in relation to brain asymmetry and neuropsychology
___
- The results of studies of nonhuman species show that lateral
asymmetry is a property not unique to humans. The demonstration of
asymmetry in non-human brains implies that asymmetry in the human
brain is directly related neither to handedness nor to language but
rather to analysis of sensory information and control of movement.*
Comment: Asymmetry is at the code level, processing information in
double modi.
- Brain asymmetry summary: From these basic ideas about distinct
functions of the two hemispheres has arisen the idea that the
hemispheres represent two distinct modes of cognitive processing (see
Springer and Deutch).The left hemisphere operates in a more
logical,analytical,computer-like fashion,analyzing stimuli input
sequentially and abstracting the relevant details to which it attaches
verbal labels.The right hemisphere is primarily a synthesizer,more
concerned with the overall stimulus configuration,and organizes and
processes information as gestalts,or wholes.*
Comment: Brain asymmetry correlations to codework, jot version:
- Left hemisphere - time, analysis, language, symbol, code, text,
instruction, execution, .....
- Right hemisphere - space, synthesis, matter, data, ambience,
context, surface, code, diffusion, .....
- Laterality leads to the notion that two different minds control our
behavior.*
Comment: Which doesn't mean they can be separated. Code's double are
the two-fold of information processing, time- and space-based, which
correlates to code as language/formatives, and code as matter/form,
or again, as instruction and data in the interpreting machine.
- The left hemisphere plays a special role in producing and
understanding language.. whereas the right hemisphere specializes in
perceiving and synthesizing nonverbal information..*
Comment: Code and its double as text and context, or as other
traditional dichotomies - active/passive, light/shadow, order/chaos,
the one/the other, intelligence/monster, etc. which is also reflected
in the traditional meaning of sinister as left, ie. right-hemisphere.
- Stimulation can produce what Penfield called ?interpretive ?and
?experiential ?responses.These uncommon but often highly reliable
phenomena include alterations in the interpretation of the patient?s
surroundings,such as deja vu,fear,and dreaming states, and the
reproduction of visual or auditory aspects of specific earlier
experiences.That patients report specific ?memories ?in response to
specific stimulation. These phenomena usually arise from tissue
showing epileptogenic discharge,but there is an asymmetry in their
occurrence:stimulation of the right temporal lobe produces these
phenomena more frequently than does stimulation of the left temporal
lobe,which suggests that the right hemisphere has perceptual functions
not shared by the left.*
- The Kimura experiments imply that the left hemisphere is specialized
for processing language-related sounds,whereas the right hemisphere
processes music-related sounds.There is,however,another
interpretation.It is possible that the asymmetry is related to the
temporal or spectral structure of the sounds ?their rhythm and
frequency ?rather than to language and music themselves.Consider,for
example,the finding by Papcun and colleagues. They showed that
Morse-code operators have a right-ear superiority for the perception
of the code,even though the sounds are distinguished only by their
temporal structure.*
Comment: The temporal is on the code source side, of running code,
executables, performatives, which refracts into space, code matter,
spectrum, specters. There's no fundamental difference, like instruction
is also data, but of interpretation, processing speed, frequencies,
and like the continuum of spacetime.
- Rudel and coworkers found that both blind and sighted subjects read
Braille more rapidly with the left hand.Some children are actually
fluent readers with the left hand but are totally unable to read with
the right.Because Braille patterns are spatial configurations of dots,
this observation is congruent with the proposal that the right
hemisphere has a role in processing spatial information that is not
shared by the left.*
Comment: Code and its double ar both active, both coded, though the
former often is interpreted as instruction and the latter as data,
or light and shadow.

Movement Complex voluntary Movements in spatial patterns

Memory Verbal memory Nonverbal memory
Language Speech Prosody?

Arithmetic
Spatial Geometry
processes Sense of direction
Mental rotation of shapes
- Several authors (for example,Efron)have suggested that it is not
motor control itself that is located in the left hemisphere but rather
the capacity for the fine resolution of stimuli in time.*
Comment: Which is again to state code's inseparability in spacetime,
as speed and matter, running code and output.
- Zatorre proposed that the auditory cortices in the two
hemispheres are therefore specialized such that temporal resolution is
better in the left and spectral resolution is better in the right
auditory areas.*
Comment: Or again like the theater and its double as time and spectrum.
- Rather than specifying different processing of specified
psychological processes,other specialization models focus on the
idea that the two hemispheres might process information in distinctly
different ways.*
Comment: Which is basically code and its double.
- The first clear proposal of [different information processing] was
made by Josephine Semmes in 1968.On the basis of the results of her
previous studies of World War II veterans suffering from penetrating
brain injuries,Semmes concluded that the left hemisphere functions as
a collection of focalized regions,whereas the right hemisphere
functions more diffusely.*
Comment: No comment.
- A large lesion of the right hemisphere produces many more
deficits than would be predicted from the total of smaller lesions
because an entire functional field is removed.A large lesion of the
left hemisphere produces many deficits simply because many small focal
regions have been destroyed; that is,in the left hemisphere, the total
is equal to the sum of the parts. Semmes proposed that this
differential organization of the two hemispheres is advantageous for
efficient control of their respective functions.The diffuse
organization of the right hemisphere is seen as advantageous for
spatial abilities,because spatial analysis requires that different
sensations (visual,auditory, tactile)be integrated into a single
percept.Language functions,in contrast,remain discrete individual
units in the left hemisphere.*
Comment: Code and its double creates and maintains different domains,
different magnitudes and spectrums of frequencies.
- People use the word sinister as a synonym for wicked or
evil.Originally a Latin word meaning ?left-hand side,?our contemporary
English meaning implies that left-handedness has been historically
viewed at best as strange or unusual.*
Comment: Which is to say that code's double has its own intelligence,
far from being dead output from executions.
- At least six significant behavioral differences are sex
related:verbal ability, visuospatial analysis,mathematical
ability,perception,motor skills,and aggression.Although the precise
causes of cognitive sex-related differences are unknown,biology likely
plays a part.Consider the following data:Richard Harshman and his
associates,in a very ambitious study of the interaction of sex and
handedness in cognitive abilities,found a significant interaction
between sex and handedness;that is,sex-related differences in verbal
and visuospatial behavior vary as a function of handedness.(Recall
that Witelson found that callosal size also varies by sex and
handedness.)It is difficult to imagine how biological or environmental
factors alone could account for this result.It is thus very plausible
to account for sex-related differences partly by neurological
factors that may be modulated by the environment.*
Comment: Introducing gender issues in codework.
- In an analysis of reading skills,Dennis and her coworkers found that
both hemispheres had almost equal ability in higher-order reading
comprehension; however,the left hemisphere is superior to the right in
reading and spelling unfamiliar words and in using sentence structure
to achieve fluent reading. The left hemisphere also reads prose
passages with greater decoding accuracy, more fluency,and fewer errors
that violate the semantic and syntactic struc- ture of the
sentence.The superiority of the left hemisphere seems to be its
ability to manipulate and exploit language rules.Yet the right
hemisphere is not without its strengths in language.Performance is
better with the right hemisphere in a task that requires learning an
association between nonsense words and symbols.*
Comment: Parsing and (re-)integration of code, code working on code,
as instruction or data - data as instruction, or instruction as data.
- In summarizing the results of studies on language,Dennis suggests
that, if written language structure is thought of as a combination of
meaning cues (morphology),sound cues (phonology),and picture cues
(logography), then the isolated left hemisphere will show superior
performance with morphology and phonology and inferior performance
with logographic cues.The isolated right hemisphere will show superior
performance with logographic cues and inferior performance with
morphological and phonological cues. Kohn and Dennis found an almost
analogous pattern of results on tests of visuospatial function.They
observed that,although patients with right hemispherectomies
performed normally on simple tests of visuospatial functions such as
drawing,they were significantly impaired on complex tests such as
negotiating a maze and reading a map.*
Comment: The time of code and space of its double.
- To summarize,each hemisphere can assume some of its opposite ?s
functions if the opposite hemisphere is removed in he course of
development, but neither hemisphere is totally capable of mediating
all of the missing hemisphere?s functions.Thus,although the
developing brain gives evidence of considerable plasticity,there is
convincing evidence against equipotentiality: both hemispheres appear
to have a processing capacity that probably has an innate structural
basis.*
Comment: Which is to state code's doubleness, the interweaving of
different processing, interpreted instruction or data for each other.
- All models of cerebral development must answer he question of how
functions become restricted to one hemisphere rather than becoming
bilateral. The interactive parallel-development hypothesis answers
that question. In a series of papers,Morris Moscovitch emphasized the
possibility that one hemisphere actively inhibits the other,thus
preventing the contralateral hemisphere from developing similar
functions. This active inhibition presumably develops at about age 5,
as the corpus callosum becomes functional. [as inhibitor]*
Comment: In regard to codework the corpus callosum is the mediator
and inhibitor of code from its double, and occupies the border between
sense and surface, time and space, source code and code source, speed
and matter, and assures their workings by inhibiting self-reference
(code as nothing) and decoding (of the double), producing meaning and
remains.

Comment: Asymmetry is at the code level, processing information in
double modi.
- Brain asymmetry summary: From these basic ideas about distinct
functions of the two hemispheres has arisen the idea that the
hemispheres represent two distinct modes of cognitive processing (see
Springer and Deutch).The left hemisphere operates in a more
logical,analytical,computer-like fashion,analyzing stimuli input
sequentially and abstracting the relevant details to which it attaches
verbal labels.The right hemisphere is primarily a synthesizer,more
concerned with the overall stimulus configuration,and organizes and
processes information as gestalts,or wholes.*
Comment: Brain asymmetry correlations to codework, jot version:
- Left hemisphere - time, analysis, language, symbol, code, text,
instruction, execution, .....
- Right hemisphere - space, synthesis, matter, data, ambience,
context, surface, code, diffusion, .....
- Laterality leads to the notion that two different minds control our
behavior.*
Comment: Which doesn't mean they can be separated. Code's double are
the two-fold of information processing, time- and space-based, which
correlates to code as language/formatives, and code as matter/form,
or again, as instruction and data in the interpreting machine.
- The left hemisphere plays a special role in producing and
understanding language.. whereas the right hemisphere specializes in
perceiving and synthesizing nonverbal information..*
Comment: Code and its double as text and context, or as other
traditional dichotomies - active/passive, light/shadow, order/chaos,
the one/the other, intelligence/monster, etc. which is also reflected
in the traditional meaning of sinister as left, ie. right-hemisphere.
- Stimulation can produce what Penfield called ?interpretive ?and
?experiential ?responses.These uncommon but often highly reliable
phenomena include alterations in the interpretation of the patient?s
surroundings,such as deja vu,fear,and dreaming states, and the
reproduction of visual or auditory aspects of specific earlier
experiences.That patients report specific ?memories ?in response to
specific stimulation. These phenomena usually arise from tissue
showing epileptogenic discharge,but there is an asymmetry in their
occurrence:stimulation of the right temporal lobe produces these
phenomena more frequently than does stimulation of the left temporal
lobe,which suggests that the right hemisphere has perceptual functions
not shared by the left.*
- The Kimura experiments imply that the left hemisphere is specialized
for processing language-related sounds,whereas the right hemisphere
processes music-related sounds.There is,however,another
interpretation.It is possible that the asymmetry is related to the
temporal or spectral structure of the sounds ?their rhythm and
frequency ?rather than to language and music themselves.Consider,for
example,the finding by Papcun and colleagues. They showed that
Morse-code operators have a right-ear superiority for the perception
of the code,even though the sounds are distinguished only by their
temporal structure.*
Comment: The temporal is on the code source side, of running code,
executables, performatives, which refracts into space, code matter,
spectrum, specters. There's no fundamental difference, like instruction
is also data, but of interpretation, processing speed, frequencies,
and like the continuum of spacetime.
- Rudel and coworkers found that both blind and sighted subjects read
Braille more rapidly with the left hand.Some children are actually
fluent readers with the left hand but are totally unable to read with
the right.Because Braille patterns are spatial configurations of dots,
this observation is congruent with the proposal that the right
hemisphere has a role in processing spatial information that is not
shared by the left.*
Comment: Code and its double ar both active, both coded, though the
former often is interpreted as instruction and the latter as data,
or light and shadow.

- Several authors (for example,Efron)have suggested that it is not
motor control itself that is located in the left hemisphere but rather
the capacity for the fine resolution of stimuli in time.*
Comment: Which is again to state code's inseparability in spacetime,
as speed and matter, running code and output.
- Zatorre proposed that the auditory cortices in the two
hemispheres are therefore specialized such that temporal resolution is
better in the left and spectral resolution is better in the right
auditory areas.*
Comment: Or again like the theater and its double as time and spectrum.
- Rather than specifying different processing of specified
psychological processes,other specialization models focus on the
idea that the two hemispheres might process information in distinctly
different ways.*
Comment: Which is basically code and its double.
- The first clear proposal of [different information processing] was
made by Josephine Semmes in 1968.On the basis of the results of her
previous studies of World War II veterans suffering from penetrating
brain injuries,Semmes concluded that the left hemisphere functions as
a collection of focalized regions,whereas the right hemisphere
functions more diffusely.*
Comment: No comment.
- A large lesion of the right hemisphere produces many more
deficits than would be predicted from the total of smaller lesions
because an entire functional field is removed.A large lesion of the
left hemisphere produces many deficits simply because many small focal
regions have been destroyed; that is,in the left hemisphere, the total
is equal to the sum of the parts. Semmes proposed that this
differential organization of the two hemispheres is advantageous for
efficient control of their respective functions.The diffuse
organization of the right hemisphere is seen as advantageous for
spatial abilities,because spatial analysis requires that different
sensations (visual,auditory, tactile)be integrated into a single
percept.Language functions,in contrast,remain discrete individual
units in the left hemisphere.*
Comment: Code and its double creates and maintains different domains,
different magnitudes and spectrums of frequencies.
- People use the word sinister as a synonym for wicked or
evil.Originally a Latin word meaning ?left-hand side,?our contemporary
English meaning implies that left-handedness has been historically
viewed at best as strange or unusual.*
Comment: Which is to say that code's double has its own intelligence,
far from being dead output from executions.
- At least six significant behavioral differences are sex
related:verbal ability, visuospatial analysis,mathematical
ability,perception,motor skills,and aggression.Although the precise
causes of cognitive sex-related differences are unknown,biology likely
plays a part.Consider the following data:Richard Harshman and his
associates,in a very ambitious study of the interaction of sex and
handedness in cognitive abilities,found a significant interaction
between sex and handedness;that is,sex-related differences in verbal
and visuospatial behavior vary as a function of handedness.(Recall
that Witelson found that callosal size also varies by sex and
handedness.)It is difficult to imagine how biological or environmental
factors alone could account for this result.It is thus very plausible
to account for sex-related differences partly by neurological
factors that may be modulated by the environment.*
Comment: Introducing gender issues in codework.
- In an analysis of reading skills,Dennis and her coworkers found that
both hemispheres had almost equal ability in higher-order reading
comprehension; however,the left hemisphere is superior to the right in
reading and spelling unfamiliar words and in using sentence structure
to achieve fluent reading. The left hemisphere also reads prose
passages with greater decoding accuracy, more fluency,and fewer errors
that violate the semantic and syntactic struc- ture of the
sentence.The superiority of the left hemisphere seems to be its
ability to manipulate and exploit language rules.Yet the right
hemisphere is not without its strengths in language.Performance is
better with the right hemisphere in a task that requires learning an
association between nonsense words and symbols.*
Comment: Parsing and (re-)integration of code, code working on code,
as instruction or data - data as instruction, or instruction as data.
- In summarizing the results of studies on language,Dennis suggests
that, if written language structure is thought of as a combination of
meaning cues (morphology),sound cues (phonology),and picture cues
(logography), then the isolated left hemisphere will show superior
performance with morphology and phonology and inferior performance
with logographic cues.The isolated right hemisphere will show superior
performance with logographic cues and inferior performance with
morphological and phonological cues. Kohn and Dennis found an almost
analogous pattern of results on tests of visuospatial function.They
observed that,although patients with right hemispherectomies
performed normally on simple tests of visuospatial functions such as
drawing,they were significantly impaired on complex tests such as
negotiating a maze and reading a map.*
Comment: The time of code and space of its double.
- To summarize,each hemisphere can assume some of its opposite ?s
functions if the opposite hemisphere is removed in he course of
development, but neither hemisphere is totally capable of mediating
all of the missing hemisphere?s functions.Thus,although the
developing brain gives evidence of considerable plasticity,there is
convincing evidence against equipotentiality: both hemispheres appear
to have a processing capacity that probably has an innate structural
basis.*
Comment: Which is to state code's doubleness, the interweaving of
different processing, interpreted instruction or data for each other.
- All models of cerebral development must answer he question of how
functions become restricted to one hemisphere rather than becoming
bilateral. The interactive parallel-development hypothesis answers
that question. In a series of papers,Morris Moscovitch emphasized the
possibility that one hemisphere actively inhibits the other,thus
preventing the contralateral hemisphere from developing similar
functions. This active inhibition presumably develops at about age 5,
as the corpus callosum becomes functional. [as inhibitor]*
Comment: In regard to codework the corpus callosum is the mediator
and inhibitor of code from its double, and occupies the border between
sense and surface, time and space, source code and code source, speed
and matter, and assures their workings by inhibiting self-reference
(code as nothing) and decoding (of the double), producing meaning and
remains.
